Hi, I am sorry to hear about your situation but don't get discouraged or terrified. I have also one M growing around my left optical nerve. The first signs were like yours, black eye and less vision in that eye. However, I had surgery in 2012 and now my vision is almost back to normal. I do not need glasses for driving only reading. By the way, nobody in my family (as far as I know) had such a brain tumor and I am otherwise a very healthy person. Again, it's difficult but please stay positive...it will help you overall and in making decision, etc. All the very best to you....

Hello @pranas

I really liked your reply to @junebug222, and especially the sentence that said,

"Again, it's difficult but please stay positive…it will help you overall and in making decision, etc."

This is so true! Remaining positive helps you to think more clearly and to make better decisions.

Thank you. I'm trying my best. It's been a few days since I first got the news so now I've had some time to digest everything. Thank you for sharing your experiences. It appears that M around the optic nerve is pretty rare?
